A society was registered under West Bengal Society registration Act, 1961 and obtained PAN as a AOP. Main object of the society to provide technical knowledge to the students of a college run by that society. Gross receipt for the year 2010-11 was Rs. 18 Lacs. As per Audit report for 2010-11, it was furnished in Form No. 10B of the Income Tax. Now during the year 2011-12, Gross Income was Rs. 322 lacs. My question is,whether the accounts to be audited U/s 44AB of the Income Tax Act? Secondly whether auditor have to furnish Form 10B as audit report? Lastly,whether society have to pay Income tax on the surplus or have to file Income Tax Return for the A.Y. 2012-13?

Tax Audit Provisions will be applicable to the society as its turnover/ gross receipts are exceeding than the limit prescribed. Providing Technical Knowledge is a professional activity in my view. .
Tax Audit Report and Form NO 10B Report, both will be required and return filing is compulsory. .
